Elijah Wood joins the Andy Samberg & Rashida Jones romantic comedy "Celeste and Jesse Forever"

Elijah Wood Joins Rashida Jones-Andy Samberg Romantic Comedy

"Celeste and Jesse Forever," written by Jones and Will McCormack, is directed by Lee Toland Krieger.



Elijah Wood has joined the cast of Celeste and Jesse Forever, the romantic comedy starring Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg, which is being directed by Lee Toland Krieger.



The script, by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, follows a couple (Jones and Samberg) in the midst of a divorce attempting to maintain their friendship while pursuing new relationships.

Wood will play Celeste’s business partner, a metrosexual who tries to be her “saucy gay friend.”

Emma Roberts, Ari Graynor and Chris Messina are among the cast members.

Jennifer Todd and Suzanne Todd are producing for Team Todd along with Lee Nelson for Envision Media Arts. The movie was previously set up at Fox Atomic and Overture Films before those companies shuttered.

The casting comes as Wood heads into his first TV series, the offbeat FX comedy Wilfred, which premieres June 23 and runs for 13 episodes. And later this summer the actor reprises his role as Frodo in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit and will be voicing a lead in Tron: Uprising, Disney’s animated series due next year.

Wood has a few projects in the can: Sky TV and Syfy’s adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island and the animated tentpole Happy Feet 2, which sees Wood coming back as the voice of Mumble the fleet-footed penguin.

Excellent!

Rashida and Andy were in I Love You Man together, she did a video short with Andy for the MTV Movie Awards, and she also co-hosted a party with him. Plus she cameo'd on SNL when he did. So they're pretty tight.

It's cool that they're in a rom com together. We mentioned this earlier. But...

Elijah Wood supporting? That's gravy! Also Emma Roberts is supporting as well. Emma is Julia Roberts' niece and has starred in Nancy Drew and "Kind of a Funny Story".

What do you think?

Enjoy!
